Matthew Cordle, 22, said in the video that he would plead guilty
and take total responsibility for killing a man named Vincent
Canzani while drunk driving in June. His lawyers decided to
change his plea at the 11th hour, Judge Julie Lynch told ABC
News.

"Everything was going to be guilty," she told ABC. "I'm somewhat
incensed by somebody who isn't forthright with the court."

Cordle's lawyers told ABC that they were just entering not guilty
as an initial plea and that they'd eventually change it to
guilty. Lynch, however, told ABC she thinks defense lawyers got
scared when she said she didn't know how she'd sentence Cordle —
who could go to prison for as long as 8 years.

It's possible Cordle will eventually change his plea as part of a
deal with prosecutors for a relatively lenient sentence.
